Шенандо

 

The Missouri, she's a mightу water

 

Away you rolling river

 

The red man's camp lies on her borders

 

Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

 

A white man loved an Indian maiden

 

Away you rolling river

 

With notions sweet his canoe was laden

 

Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

 

 

O Shenandoah, I love your daughter

 

Away you rolling river

 

I'll take her 'cross the rolling water

 

Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

 

 

The chief disdained the trader's dollars

 

Away you rolling river

 

My daughter never you shall follow

 

Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

 

 

 

At last there came a Yankee skipper

 

Away you rolling river

 

He winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper

 

Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

 

 

He sold the chief that fire-water

 

Away you rolling river

 

And 'cross the river he stole his daughter

 

Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

 

 

O Shenandoah, I long to hear you

 

Away you rolling river

 

Across the wide and rolling water

 

Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri
